In short: very very muddy run
In full: did this for the first time last year and pretty dry and fast but this year....the night after the thaw and everywhere was either mud or semi-swamp but at least the run went ahead and the trail trainers got a good test. Marshals friendly, organisation good and atmosphere excellent.

In short: Tough, challenging and worth doing
In full: Great t shirt rewarded the pain of uphill and downhill muddy slides. Varying terrain gives us tarmac runners a shock but in a good way. Well organised if a little short - my Nike GPS said 9.4km and my husband's Garmin 9.8.

In short: Lovely course, perfect weather, great marshals
In full: My first go at the 'new' Perch. Definitely not as challenging as the original but a great course and equally enjoyable.
Very smooth organisation though only XL shirts left by the time I finished. However, rather than just handing out oversize shirts, names and sizes required were taken and the correct size shirt will be forwarded by post.
Congrats to the Oddballs on raising a phoenix from the ashes.
